Sales were down 9.5% last year, according to the trade publisher Beer Marketer’s Insights, the brand’s steepest decline on record.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17 (she went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time). Today, I live near Portland, Oregon and spend my days building brands for companies that matter.
